There is a new app coming out called Bromance. Its supposed to be a Grindr for straight guys looking for other straight guys for friendship. I don't think anyone but gay guys will be using this to find a DL hook up. I can't imagine a straight guy actually using this app to find other straight guys to hangout with. What do you guys think?

That isn't what bromance is anyway, as I understand it. A bromance happens organically between two guys who feel a strong but non-sexual bond. I don't think it's something you can set out to find, like dating... it happens because you discover a stronger connection with someone than a regular friendship. that I can't see straight guys trolling for that on the Internet. Activity pals maybe, but it's misnamed.

Someone said "straight guys make friends easily" ... I think maybe they make ACQUAINTANCES easily but the straight guys I know seem much more reserved with their feelings, and -- when you do get to know them -- there is often a lot more going on beneath the surface than they let on. It seems like a very isolating world where you spend a lot of time behind a tough front.

Although it is true that they are very reserved with their feelings, I don't think they feel the need to make a deeper connection very often. Also they have a major advantage over Gay friendship, since their friends can not be sexually attracted to them. In Gay friendship many people are not clear about their feelings and confuse friendship with hoping to be with someone. For example once I had a boyfriend a lot o my friends wouldn't even respond to my text messages anymore.
